For personnel moving offices and who need to go “replacement shopping†for office furniture, please email Sonia Rademacher (srademacher@georgefox.edu) for an appointment to select office items. Those items include:
There is no need for an appointment if you only require office supplies.
For staff and faculty who are moving offices and require new items, please keep in mind that the quantities and style of furniture in surplus is limited.
If you do make an appointment to look at furniture, please have your office dimensions available so that those who are assisting you can know which desks to point out, as many desks are broken down for storage purposes, and some are designed for specific buildings on campus.
For all other furniture inquiries, please email Sonia.
Thank you!

Note that these procedures cover complaints of a general nature and do not supersede specific policies involving special cases such as grade appeals, sexual harassment, etc., which are covered elsewhere in the Student Handbook, catalog or Graduate/DPS Policies.

The position is open to any George Fox graduate student. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled.

Following are some refund tips from the Office of Student Accounts.
Tip #1: Have you granted ‘Financial Aid Permission?’
If you have not completed a “Financial Aid T4 Permission Form,†please understand that federal funds cannot pay course fees and fines without your permission. This may result in an unpaid charge and a credit balance at the same time. When that happens, we have to audit the account to be sure the refund is valid. That takes time and slows down refunds significantly.
To grant “permission,†please sign into My.GeorgeFox.edu and go to your task tile, or follow the steps at this link. The federal rule is that you complete this before your financial aid disburses.
If your loans have already disbursed for the semester, you will need to complete two steps: 1. Complete the form, and 2. Email studentaccountrefunds@georgefox.edu this week to authorize us to pre-date the effective date of your permission form.
Tip #2: Session Start Dates Impact Refund Timing
If your first session this spring begins after Jan 19, your aid disbursement will be delayed until at least 10 days prior to session start, resulting in a refund delay. Please do everything else you can to help us expedite your refunds. (Click link and scroll down to “Refundsâ€.)
Tip #3: Participation in Student Account Direct Deposit is now Mandatory!
If you have not signed up for Student Account Direct Deposit (DD), you must do so immediately. (Employment and Student Accounts DD enrollments are two entirely separate processes.)
Please sign into My.GeorgeFox.edu and go to your task tile to complete this requirement. Failure to do so will result in refund delays.
Questions? Contact Marcy Nielsen at mnielsen@georgefox.edu.
Are you a social media maven? An Instagram aficionado? A TikTok virtuoso? The university’s Marketing Communications team has an opening for a student to help us deliver engaging, authentic and effective messages to our audience on a wide variety of social media platforms!

While not required, candidates who can also demonstrate basic video editing skills will move to the top of our list. We look forward to hearing from you! Apply here.
